Neither visionary nor a founder.

There’s kind of a difference between “whoever happens to be wealthiest at the moment” and “The 0.001% of the population that is three times wealthier than the bottom 50% of humanity combined.”

I have absolutly seen people who are unskilled at picking up and moving boxes. It’s not a task with a high skill floor, or a particularily high skill ceiling, but it exists.

And somehow my company has been uniformly capable of identifying and hiring these people.

I really liked Adrian Tchaikovsky’s stuff. Particularily “Children of Time” and a lot of his standalone novels like “Alien Clay”, “Shroud”, and “Service Model”.

Another good book that explores truly alien aliens is “A Fire Upon the Deep” by Vernor Vinge. I really like how a lot of concepts are presented in a way that initially lets you sort of figure out whats going on before too much exposition is used to clarify alien ideas.

Finally, I need to recommend David Brin’s books, like the uplift trilogies or oven his weirder stuff like Kiln People. He does a good job of establishing a technology or social convention and building a world around it.

Seems like a lot of math they could argue.

Fine them daily gross income for each identified product for each day since the last inspection with no findings.

Make them beg for more frequent inspections.

Does it seem to ‘descend’ counterclockwise for everyone? Or do you see it as clockwise?

I choose to believe that that is not a list of three similar things, but a list of different ways to be remembered.

Do you want to be remembered as dilettante competing in a crowded field who managed to have the right combination of skill and luck?

Do you want to be remembered as the one collosal idiot with a cult of personality, who claimed to work for humanity but only ever dipped us into a kessler syndrome and helped set the conditions for the Bell Riots?

Do you want to be remwmbered as the inventor of a revolutionary technology in desperate times that single-handedly averted the doomed fate of humanity?

Given the existance of The Big Mac Index, which seeks to compare global currencies and their respective buying power, this is actually fascinating.

Airbending allows the owner to “cast” from exile, so any effects that would happen upon casting will still happen.

Some effects specify “when cast from hand” or similar, and those won’t work, but the Emrakul in question should work as advertised.

Are they like mad at me, or just in the realm too?

He’s over in French Guiana.

If you drink something that is about the same ionic concentration as your blood, you can absorb a lot of it safely.

If you drink something much much saltier than your blood it will pull water out of your blood cells.

If you drink something with very few ions it will hydrate your blood cells, but drinking too much can burst your blood cells as they try to absorb to much.

The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a specific fraction of a second. It may have been initially defined by a rough estimate but it (and all metric measurements) are now fixed to universal constants.

Also the foot is currently defined exclusively as 0.3048 meters, so you are already using metric.

It’s less “defending copy-write laws” and more “pointing out that the already unfair laws are being applied disproportionately”.

Copy-write laws are still laughably bad, but now they only apply to us.

urchin noun ur·​chin ˈər-chən

Wikipedia seems to corroborate the entry.

In an entry for the second month, sixth day of the same year (March 11, 889) titled For the Love of a Cat, Uda gives a detailed and humorous description of the physical characteristics of his cat and goes on to ascribe her a yin and yang spirituality.

The standard way to streak a plate involves creating a resevoir of the sample you are studying, then using a sterile tool to streak through that at a steep angle. Then you streak through the first streak with another sterile tool, and so on and so forth.

As you streak through lines, the amount of bacteria pulled along is reduced until you are able to isolate individual colonies.

“Ahh yes, this will hide the cigarette stains.”

True. You can shoot lasers and such through a lot of things, but I am trying to describe a phenomenon in relatively simple language without getting too bogged down in the technical details. The question was about flowing liquids, so I assumed it was understood that that was what I was talking about.
